Today [ 2021-04-22 ]
Robo call telling me that $99.99 has been charged on my CC. directions are to call back the number in the Caller ID, or to call 769-572-3120 to pursue it with Amazon.
The number I have for Amazon is, well, I cannot find one.
Interesting as Amazon doesn’t want to talk with users thus giving these hackers an inroad to getting hacked.
Calling the number the hacker gave me, I hear “Amazon customer Support, can I help you?”. the guy has an east Indian accent and asks for my email address. I close the connection now but this hack is pretty smooth…
Stay safe,

These guys are pretty good in their scam.
First I get a call with a robot message that my amazon account is renewing and they need to help me with it in case I want to cancel. Then, after hitting 1, a guy with a heavy eastern accent, maybe India, reaffirms that my Amazon account is renewing and if do I want to renew they will help me cancel. This first guy wants me to get in front of my computer or cell phone. I tell him I am at my computer. and I would like to renew.
Then he asks, is it on. Yes, it is on.
He says Ok, let me give you to a supervisor to “help” with the renewal.
The next guy confirms that I am at my computer and it is on (???) and tells me to open Chrome and to go to this website:
www.amazoncare2.weebly.com
Weebly.com is a hosting company and these guys have setup a complete hacking scenario with their own software. They have created a subdomain, amazoncare2 at the weebly.com domain hosting service.
Once there they try to get me to let them into my computer. I terminated the conversation at this time.
